Defining The Rules
Audrey Young has a useful summary of questions around the pledge cards in this morning’s New Zealand Herald. It covers Parliament’s rules for spending the leader’s funds, how the rules are administered, how they’ve changed, and what the Auditor-General’s report is all about.
She describes the pledge card row as “the most complicated and charged issue to have visited Parliament since the foreshore and seabed decision”. Another example of the government laying its sticky fingers on something that didn’t belong to them.
